Normacy Required

Something's really weird. I need some normacy!!!! This is the umpteenth time this year I am making hospitals my second home. First time was in March, which lasted till now, and Grandma is going for her last radiation session tomorrow. Now, as I thought I could have some rest, I am to be welcomed by the next thing -- my mum going to the hospital on Sunday night. Goodness!

One moment, I was doing my thing, the next, I was with mum, supporting her and telling dad how to call for the ambulance. Yup, what in the world's happening these days. A test of my calmness? Seriously...I don't know. Yet, there's this trust, which I hold. The trust that kept me going, and will keep me going still.

At this point, I just want to thank my dear sisters for your concern - jieyun, sarah, rachel, geraldine. Your words and actions have touched me greatly. Not only this time, but even when it was in March, when my grandma was unwell. I'd remember all of you dearly. I thank God for letting our paths cross, and you gals being a support in my life.

Now, on a lighter note. Some interesting happenings in a particular hospital in the east which I decline to name. Probably, I will do it in a news brief format.

It is reported that a particular doctor in a hospital located in the east had poked himself with the needle after drawing blood from a patient. Proper training should be done in order to prevent such kinds of incidents from occurring. The danger in the life of the doctor is evident, as one will never know the kind of diseases the patient is carrying. Probably, there should be a 100-time practice of how to draw blood from patients before the doctor should be released to do such procedures. If not, it is best to leave it to the nurses.

In the same hospital. A patient was found on the top of the building. It is not a usual sight, and the patient was not up on the roof of the building to check tiles. He was threatening to jump. Several civil defence officers were there to keep the situation under control. Fortunately, they managed to calm the patient down.

These are the excerpts of the ongoings in a day at a hospital. I found it interesting.
